Summary
David Hoffman is a top realtor, business owner, economist, and the founder of David Hoffman Realty, an Inc. 5000 company consistently ranked in the top 50 firms as per the Wall Street Journal/Real Trends Top 1,000 list out of over 2 million real estate agents in the United States and Canada. He is also the founder of Covenant First Mortgage, and Beyond Title.
In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, Larry Hagner interviews David Hoffman. David shares his personal story of becoming a father to a little girl, Isabella, through foster care. He discusses the importance of being present in the moment and how his three-year plan guided him towards this beautiful addition to his family.
David also shares his personal experiences growing up and the impact it had on his life. He discusses how he was often left on his own as a young age, with his mother working and going to school. This left him fending for himself and having to figure out dinner and other tasks on his own. He recalls having to save up money to order a pizza on the nights his mom was at school.
Larry Hagner acknowledges David's journey and the positive impact he is making through his work with the Dad Edge Alliance. By helping men improve their relationships and become better fathers, David is creating a ripple effect that will benefit not only his own children but also future generations. The host commends David for breaking the cycle of neglect and creating a legacy of love and support.
He notes that historically, men have found their sense of purpose in their careers, quantifying their success through promotions and accolades. However, this can lead to emptiness and a lack of fulfillment. He encourages men to also focus on their roles at home and the impact they have on their families. By recognizing and valuing their contributions as fathers and husbands, men can find a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment.
